HYANNIS — A man was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol Friday night after police found him driving aimlessly in the back parking lot of the Barnstable Police Station.

Michael Sheehan, 57, of Arlington first caught the attention of Officer Anson Moore when Sheehan turned into the back of the police station where only police officers are allowed, said Barnstable police Sgt. Sean Sweeney.

Moore, who was in his police cruiser, thought he was an officer arriving for the midnight shift but kept his eye on him anyway because his vehicle was driving erratically, Sweeney said.

When Moore stopped him in the back lot, however, Sheehan failed a field sobriety test.

He was conveniently walked into the police station to be booked, and his car was towed away, Sweeney said.
